[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-3239) Support for Kerberos enabled Kafka 0.9.0.0

["Stefano Baghino (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3239?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15262292#comment-15262292 ] 

Stefano Baghino commented on FLINK-3239:
----------------------------------------

I've been able to come to a working prototype. The big issue with that is that due to Kafka's lack of support for the Hadoop delegation token (tracked by [KAFKA-1696|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1696]) it requires a kinit to be performed on each node of the cluster. I believe an optimal solution should be postponed up until [KAFKA-1696|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1696] is resolved.

> In Kafka 0.9.0.0 support for Kerberos has been created ( KAFKA-1686 ).
> Request: Allow Flink to forward/manage the Kerberos tickets for Kafka correctly so that we can use Kafka in a secured environment.
> I expect the needed changes to be similar to FLINK-2977 which implements the same support for HBase.
